Originally posted by m3bs I put a set of ES100s on my 330 this weekend. Definitely quieter than the Contis, and the softer sidewall makes for somewhat better ride with less "nibble". Downside is slower initial steering response. Can't beat the price.

Def. softer sidewall, avg -1 or -2 mph on constant radius turn vs the Contis. But straight line grip is awesome, no more DSC lights during aggressive 1st to 2nd shifts (4,500rpm or more).
